Question

A children's birthday party at an indoor play center costs $50 to rent the space and $6.25 per child. Gina wants to spend no more than $100 on her son's fourth birthday party. Write an inequality for the number of children who can attend the birthday party, and solve the inequality. A) 50 + 6.25x ≤ 100; x ≤ 8 B) 50 + 6.25x ≥ 100; x ≥ 8 C) 50 + 6.25x < 100; x < 8 D) 50 + 6.25x > 100; x > 8

nubeer · Answer

number of childrens = x
total cost  <= 100
cost for x children's = 6.25x
so final equation should be
6.25x + 50 <= 100

I think A because the other answers wouldn't make sense..an example x has to be greater than or equal to 8 and we don't want anymore than 8 kids.
